welcome mat
Entryway foot-wiper
A welcome mat is a doormat placed at an entrance, often bearing the word "welcome" or a greeting.
To roll out the welcome mat or put out the welcome mat is to receive someone hospitably.
Conversely, to pull up the welcome mat is to become unwelcoming or refuse further entry.
